Skipping the logo video

Hired Guns: The Jagged Edge is a turn-based strategy that puts you command of a squad of specialists for hire in the genre’s biggest game-world yet: the African country Diamond Coast. Diamond Coast is a playground for the cruel and corrupt, each with their own agenda. Choose your friends wisely and buy an army of ruthless mercenaries to unleash mayhem on your foes. Choose “jobs” from different factions and complete them for cash to upgrade your weapons and hire more elite soldiers of fortune.

Skipping the logo video

Post by SlickWilhelm »

Just a little trick to prevent having to watch the short logo video every time you start HG.

In C:\Matrix Games\Hired Guns\basis\video, rename logo.bik to logo.bik.orig.

After doing this, when starting the game you'll just right to the main menu.

Reinforce ... just hit the spacebar as soon as the movie starts and it takes you right to the main screen. About 1 second is all you need.

ORIGINAL: mashdj

To skip intro video, remove intro.bik from video folder.


Or you can just rename it to intro.bik.orig, so that if you want to someday reinstate it, the video will still be there, and you can just rename it back to intro.bik.
